Numerical Simulation Of Granular Media Under Horizontal Vibrations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sinusoidal horizontal vibrations have been applied to a parallelepiped containing rounded sand grains. To model the granular medium behavior, a commercial software based on Molecular Dynamics has been used. The influence on the rheologic behavior of many process parameters, such as the dimensionless acceleration and the frequency has been studied. The velocity, density, pressure and mass flow fields have been computed, both in dynamic and static modes and compared with experimental results. The correlation between these different parameters has been also examined.

متن کاملTwo-dimensional powder transport on a vibrating belt
The transport of 2D powder mixtures is investigated using a model recently proposed by us to describe the fluidization of granular media. We simulate the behaviour of particles placed on a belt having vertical as well as horizontal vibrations. Using Molecular Dynamics we calculate the density field and velocity distributions of the particles and investigate the angular dependence of momentum tr...
متن کاملSimulation and Control of Rotational Vibration of Sprayer Boom Using a Novel Suspension System
Sprayers are important tools in agriculture that usually moved on the field by tractor. Sprayers should distribute the constant rate of chemicals during various conditions encountered in the field. Unwanted vibrations of sprayer boom cause redaction of its life time and over doses and under doses of chemical sprayed on the field. Therefore, in this study a model of suspension system for rotatio...
متن کاملGranular friction: Triggering large events with small vibrations
Triggering large-scale motion by imposing vibrations to a system can be encountered in many situations, from daily-life shaking of saltcellar to silo unclogging or dynamic earthquakes triggering. In the well-known situation of solid or granular friction, the acceleration of imposed vibrations has often been proposed as the governing parameter for the transition between stick-slip motion and con...
متن کاملSpreading of a granular droplet.
The influence of controlled vibrations on the granular rheology is investigated in a specifically designed experiment in which a granular film spreads under the action of horizontal vibrations. A nonlinear diffusion equation is derived theoretically that describes the evolution of the deposit shape. A self-similar parabolic shape (the "granular droplet") and a spreading dynamics are predicted t...
